Tomorrow is the 25th anniversary of the release of DOOM, as id Software's
seminal first-person shooter first arrived on December 10, 1993. Now the
Romero Games Website has word that
DOOM designer John Romero's company is announcing a new game tomorrow to
celebrate the occasion.
VentureBeat has an email from The Romero indicating that this game is
actually already complete, and tomorrow the chance will come to preorder
this:

25 years ago DOOM was released on December 10th.

To celebrate this momentous occasion, Romero Games will announce pre-orders for
a project John Romero just completed.

If you have been following John Romero’s Instagram @theromero you would have
seen the hints. What looked like a countdown to Doom’s birthday became suddenly
mysterious.

You’ll receive another email on Monday announcing this new project, and have the
opportunity to pre-order it.

He has only proven that he once made some good levels for a game in the early 90's, since then has never designed a game himself that had any success, can't hold a job and has aspirations to make a game to return him to his previous glory. I find it hilarious how you guys will shit on Chris Roberts (an actual active game designer) and defend a guy like Romero. I realize Romero is kind of pathetic, so it's hard to kick the guy when he's been down for 25 years, but giving these game announcement schemes of his any level of credibility at this point defies logic.

The guy is unlikely to finish anything he starts, and if he does... it's going to suck. Lets see if he proves me wrong.

You're holding Roberts up as an example? Lol! The two games he was involved in got made in spite of him, not because of him. They were taken away from him because he was a shitty producer doing the exact same thing he is now. After the clusterfuck that is SC is over he will go down in history as the worst game producer in history. The guy that pissed away 200 million dollars. At least Romero could get his fucking work in on time and on budget - and has actually helped produce several hit games. Jesus, learn some history already.
